Following the success of the team’s previous collaboration on the renovation of the Cutler Majestic Theatre and the multi-venue Tufte Performance and Production Center, Auerbach Pollock Friedlander provided theatre consulting and sound, video, and production communications design for the redevelopment of the Paramount Theatre and the adjacent Arcade Building. This is the former site of the Bijou Theatre and B.F. Keith’s Theatre, the first vaudeville theatre to use electric lighting. The project is a combination of adaptive re-use, renovation, and new infill construction including a 596-seat proscenium theatre that occupies the footprint and recreates the original art-deco finishes of the 1,500-seat Paramount Theatre which originally opened in 1932 as a movie theatre. To Top | | Held Contest for Calendar Photos | | For its 2011 calendar, Theatre Projects Consultants wanted to showcase the insider’s perspective on its work, so it held a competition to be part of the calendar. The firm sought interesting, artistic photos taken in any space its ever worked on, anywhere in the world. See a cool architectural detail? An unusual angle on technical equipment? A performance shot taken from a non-audience perch? How about a support space in full pre-show flurry? The company asked photographers to capture that image and tell why it struck them. The competition was open to anyone – and the first prize was $500. Deadline for entry was August 15.
